WILLIAM S. RICHARDSON, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

FASTENENG FOR GLOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 383,072, dated May 15,1888.

Application filed January 23, 1888. Serial No. 26l,647. (NomodoL) To aZZwhom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM S. RICHARD- soN, of Boston, in the county ofSuffolk and State of Massachusetts, a citizen of the United States, haveinventeda new and useful Improvement in Fastenings for Gloves and otherArticles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, forminga part of this specification in explaining its nature.

The invention is an improvement upon the construction of fasteningdescribed and claimed in my application, Case 0, Serial No. 261,646, ofeven date herewith.

In the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 show, in

plan and section,the domeor button-top. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 relate to thejaw plate. Figs. 6, 7 8, and 9 relate to the stay-piece; Figs. 10 and 11to the under washer; Figs. 12 and 13 to the ball, stud, or post memberof the fastening. Fig. 14 is a sectional View illustrating the member ofthe fastening to which this invention relates as secured to thematerial. Fig.- 15 shows the fastening in operative position, with aball, post, or stud.

The fastenings comprise a dome or button top, A, an independentjawplate, B, fastened or secured by its edge to the dome or button top,the stay piece 0, having an' annular groove or cup-shaped depression inthe flange close to the sleeve thereof, and a fastening or securingdevice comprising a washer having fastening extensions or parts whichareadapted to be passed through the material and holes or recesses inthe jaw-plate, and to be upset or turned in the said annular recess orcup shaped depression of the Staypiece.

The dome A is formed from the circular blank a in suitable dies. Thejaw-plate B is formed from the blank 7), (shown in Fig. 3,) and has theflange b, the opening b the jaws If, formed by the slits I)", extendingfrom the opening, and the holes or recesses If. The stay-piece O is madefrom the blank 0, and has a sleeve or staying piece or extension, 0,flange c", and the annular depression or cupshaped recesses c that is, Imean that the recess may extend entirely around the plate, or it may beconfined to two opposite points and in line with the holes b of the jawplate.

The parts are assembled by first placing the stay-piece in the cavity ofthe dome or button-top, then placing the jaw-plate next it, and thenturning the edge or sections of the sions d, is represented in Figs. 10and 11, and

to secure the fastening in place a hole is first formed in the material,the fastening placed over the same, the prongs of the washer passedthrough the material from the opposite side thereof and caused to enterthe holes 6 of the jaw-plate, and to be turned or upset thereon by themetal of the staypiece forming the turning" recess 0 This constructionis adapted for use where the thickness of the material to which thefastening is to be applied varies, and it also is an improvement in thatit forms an under finish which is entirely smooth or without projectionsthereon.

In use the fastening is placed so thatthe jaw-opening registers with theball, post, or stud A, and by the. movement of one in relation'to theother the two parts are brought together to assume the position inrelation to each other represented in Fig. 15.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United States 1. A fastening for gloves andother articles, consisting of the dome or button-top A, the jaws b,having the holes or recesses b the staypiece 0, having the prong-turningdepressions c and the washer D, having the prongs or fasteningextensionsd, substantially as described.

2. In a fastening for gloves and other arti cles, the combination of thedome or buttontop A, the jaw-plate having the opening b jaws b and theopenings or recesses N, with a stay-plate, 0, having the prong-turningdepressions c and the washer D, having the prongs d, substantially asdescribed.
